About Jennifer

Jennifer Robart is a licensed clinical social worker who brings empathy and practical guidance to therapy. She focuses on helping people cope with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, addiction-related issues, and life transitions. Her style is warm and conversational, and she centers the conversation on each person's goals and strengths.

She draws on six years of clinical experience, including work from 2018 to 2021 with people facing drug and alcohol addiction.

Background and approach

That experience shaped her understanding of recovery and the problems that often accompany it, such as trauma, grief, anger, and self-esteem concerns. In sessions she uses clear, goal-oriented methods to help people move forward. She listens without judgment and helps clients name practical steps they can take between meetings.

Motivation and small changes are common focus points in her work. Her therapeutic toolkit includes Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Motivational Interviewing, approaches that emphasize learning new skills and strengthening motivation to change. She aims to create a calm, emotionally safe space where clients can be honest and try out different coping strategies.

Jennifer holds an LCSW and practices in Illinois. She offers several online session formats so people can choose the way that fits their schedule and comfort. The approach is collaborative - she and each client work together to set goals and track progress over time.

Online Approaches and How They Help

Jennifer uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot patterns in thinking and behavior that contribute to stress, anxiety, or low mood. CBT breaks problems into manageable parts and teaches clear skills for changing unhelpful thoughts and habits.

She also uses Motivational Interviewing to support people who feel unsure about change. That approach focuses on building motivation in a nonjudgmental way and is often useful for recovery, addictions, or making life changes.

Choosing the right approach is a team effort. She works with each person to decide which methods match their goals, needs, and preferences. Over time the plan can shift based on what is proving helpful.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These formats make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life and let people pick the style they feel most comfortable with. The variety of formats supports ongoing work even when schedules or locations change.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.

Motivational Interviewing

A way of working through mixed feelings about change without being pushed. The therapist helps you weigh things up and find your own reasons, which often makes a difficult decision feel less stuck.
